Attention Lemo 2 Users...

[SteakAndEggs]

Just a little warning to all who have purchased the Lemo 2- Do not use the wire included in the box.
I was a little worried when i was using the stock coil and noticed it had been turning a green color after a few days of use, not sure if this is the case with all Lemo 2's, but if you notice your wire is turning greenish, just throw it out and replace it. I don't believe this is kanthal, it could possibly be nichrome, but it's properties are not matching up with those of kanthal. My worries were confirmed when I decided to put a parallel 5 wrap coil on my rda with that wire because of my lack of other 24 gauge... Well today when I took out my cotton and dry burned the coil a little to rid it of excess juice, the coil actually deformed and somewhat melted on my rda . I don't know what kind of metal this is, but I'm positive it is not kanthal, this has never happened to me with kanthal, and this wire seems to be of a lower resistance than kanthal. Anyway, just wanted to let ya'll know to be careful with that wire, or just throw it out altogether. Otherwise, the Lemo 2 is a fantastic tank

24 ga Nichrome came with mine...matches up exactly in diameter and resistance to my roll from temco.

Rewicked and used the original coil after cleaning for a few days and it was fine.

Your results may vary!

I thought it might be nichrome. I've used nichrome before and it's never melted like that though. Nor turned a green color. Any idea what happened?

Not sure about the green color. Maybe the juice you were using? But I've seen nichrome melt plenty of times. That's actually the main reason I don't use it.
